Alfred Jerome King, 34, was shot in the early morning hours of January 20, 2023, in Alexandria, Louisiana. At about 1:22 AM officers were sent to 12th Street and Magnolia Street and found King on the ground in front of an apartment complex in the 500 block of Magnolia Street with a gunshot wound. He was taken to a local hospital but died a short time later.

Alexandria Police Detectives identified 45-year-old Desmond Lamonte Clowers of Baton Rouge as a suspect and obtained a warrant charging him with second-degree murder. A multi-agency search was launched, and Clowers was arrested in Baton Rouge on the outstanding murder warrant on February 8, 2023, then extradited to Alexandria and booked into the Rapides Parish Detention Center; a judge set bond at $2,000,000. The investigation was reported as ongoing.

If anyone has information about King, his activities that night, or the events near Magnolia Street, please come forward.
